The data input circuit 600 may receive the data DQ and generate internal data DATA_IN, according to the compensated data strobe signal DQSC.

FIG. 3 illustrates the configuration of the detection circuit of FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 3, the detection circuit 300 may include a plurality of flip-flops 310, a plurality of first logic gates 320, a plurality of second logic gates 330, a first shift register 340, a plurality of third logic gates 350, a plurality of fourth logic gates 360 and a second shift register 370.

The plurality of flip-flops 310 may receive the sampling signals SMP<1:5>, and generate shifted sampling signals SMPS<1:5>.

The plurality of first logic gates 320, i.e. a plurality of inverters may invert the shifted sampling signals SMPS<1:5>.

The plurality of second logic gates 330, i.e. a plurality of AND gates may perform a first logical operation, i.e. an AND operation on the sampling signals SMP<1:5> with outputs from the first logic gates 320.

The first shift register 340 may output the lead flags SL<1:5> as ‘10000’, and the second shift register 370 may output the trail flags ST<1:5> as ‘00100’.

Since the lead flags SL<1:5> have a value of ‘10000’ and the trail flags ST<1:5> have a value of ‘00100’, it may define that the multi-phase signal DQS_D1 is the lead signal and the multi-phase signal DQS_D3 is the trail signal.

Since the lead flags SL<1:5> have a value of ‘01000’ and the trail flags ST<1:5> have a value of ‘00010’, it may define that the multi-phase signal DQS_D2 is the lead signal and the multi-phase signal DQS_D4 is the trail signal.

The control circuit 420 may complete the read training process by setting a value of the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> to the delay time of the multi-phase signal generation circuit 500, the value of the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to an intermediate value between the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to the lead signal at which the first edge matching operation has been completed and the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to the trail signal at which the second edge matching operation has been completed.

The delay line 510 may delay the data strobe signal DQS by the varied delay time according to a delay control signal CTRLD<0:N>, and output the delayed signal as the compensated data strobe signal DQSC.

The replica 520 may delay the compensated data strobe signal DQSC by a preset delay time, and output the delayed signal as a feedback signal FB.

The word “preset” as used herein with respect to a parameter, such as a preset delay time, means that a value for the parameter is determined prior to the parameter being used in a process or algorithm. For some embodiments, the value for the parameter is determined before the process or algorithm begins. In other embodiments, the value for the parameter is determined during the process or algorithm but before the parameter is used in the process or algorithm.

The phase detector 530 may generate a phase detection signal PDOUT by detecting a phase difference between the data strobe signal DQS and the feedback signal FB.

The delay controller 540 may generate the delay control signal CTRLD<0:N> for adjusting (increasing or decreasing) the delay time of the delay line 510, according to the phase detection signal PDOUT or the control code CODE_DLY<0:N>.

According to the command CMD of the controller 101, the data DQ and the data strobe signal DQS may be outputted from the semiconductor device 102.

The delay line 510 of the multi-phase signal generation circuit 500 in the controller 101 may generate the multi-phase signal DQS_D<1:5>.

The controller 101 may over-sample the data DQ using the multi-phase signals DQS_D<1:5>.

Based on FIG. 7, the sampling signals SMP<1:5> according to the over-sampling result may have a value of ‘01100’.

The controller 101 may perform the first edge matching operation within time ‘t1’ by controlling the unit delays UD of the delay line 510 of FIG. 6, in order to match the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D1 with the rising edge of the data DQ.

The controller 101 may store the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D1, matched with the rising edge of the data DQ.

When the first edge matching operation for matching the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D1 with the rising edge of the data DQ has been completed, the controller 101 may perform the second edge matching operation for matching a rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D3 with a falling edge of the data DQ using the delay code DQS_DLY3 as the control code CODE_DLY<0:N>, the delay code DQS_DLY3 corresponding to the multi-phase signal DQS_D3 identified as the trail signal.

The controller 101 may perform the second edge matching operation within time ‘t2’ by controlling the unit delays UD of the delay line 510 of FIG. 6, in order to match the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D3 with the falling edge of the data DQ.

The controller 101 may store the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D3, matched with the falling edge of the data DQ.

The controller 101 may calculate the intermediate value between the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D1 and the control code CODE_DLY<0:N> corresponding to the rising edge of the multi-phase signal DQS_D3, and set the calculated value as the final control code in the multi-phase signal generation circuit 500. Then, the controller 101 may end the read training process.

The multi-phase signal generation circuit 500 may generate the compensated data strobe signal DQSC by delaying the data strobe signal DQS according to the final control code.

Through the above-described read training process, the compensated data strobe signal DQSC may be aligned with the center of the data DQ.

Therefore, the data input circuit 600 of FIG. 2 may stably receive the data DQ according to the compensated data strobe signal DQSC, and generate internal data DATA_EN.

In a present embodiment, both of the lead signal and the trail signals may be used to perform the read training process. However, this configuration is only an example, and only the lead signal may be used to perform the read training process.
